This small but striking handmade blown glass paperweight vase comes from Prague, a city with a long and celebrated tradition in the art of glassmaking. Deep blue in colour, it carries the kind of quiet intensity that mid-century glass artists were known for — bold, confident, and beautifully crafted by hand.

What sets this piece apart is its provenance: the original label remains intact, and the base is signed by the artist, confirming its authenticity and adding real collector value. As a paperweight vase, it was designed both to anchor papers on a desk and to hold small flowers — a practical object elevated into something genuinely beautiful.
